Warning from Microsoft learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-notifications
This policy is designed for zero exhaust. This policy may cause some MDM processes to break. The MDM server uses WNS notifications to send real time tasks to the device. Some example tasks include remote wipe, unenroll, remote find, and mandatory app installation. When this policy is set to disallow WNS, those real time processes will no longer work. Some time-sensitive actions also won't work, such as remote wipe or unenrollment. You would use these time-sensitive actions when the device is stolen or compromised.
